RE: To Bot or Not to Bot? - A Random Rambling
Like you, I haven't used them either and agree with you that it's not so great when content that is lacking rises to the top or perhaps for the future of the community. Really, more than I feel like figuring out too.
Have you assigned your votes out--to a program that automatically votes for others? I haven't tried that either though I can see how one would potentially make more doing it. I went to steemauto as suggested, but then felt why would I give my power away to someone/something else?
You have a very high reputation for not using them and that gives me hope :)
Thank you :D I think my score has to do with my participation in competitions early on. I entered sooooo many Steemit contests. Even when you don’t win it can expose you to people who wouldn’t have found your blog otherwise and some of them decide to follow and vote for you and after a while it adds up. I even ran a contest for a while. As for the autovoting, that never appealed to me. I like the freedom of discovering a post unexpectedly and being able to upvote it. Sure, I’m not a whale or even a dolphin but I prefer making the decisions on where my SP goes and what it does. That’s not to say that I never upvote for higher curation rewards. It’s just that I like to be more directly in control of where my votes go.
Thank YOU for the response! Makes me feel just fine going about it my own way, like you, free to vote on what we want, finding original content and making this a better place for the future :)
